What you actually get with frameless
A true frameless screen has no surrounding frame. The glass is thick 10mm toughened panels held by discreet clamps, hinges and channels. That is what gives the open, seamless look, and it is why frameless costs more: the glass is heavier, the hardware is precise, and the install has less margin for error.
Because there is no frame to hide behind, the walls and floor need to be reasonably true. On an older Adelaide bathroom with uneven tiling, a good glazier will template carefully or suggest semi-frameless, where a slim frame absorbs the tolerance.
Frameless vs semi-frameless: the honest trade-off
Semi-frameless screens frame only some edges. They cost noticeably less, they cope better with slightly out-of-square openings, and from a step back they look very close to frameless. If budget matters or your walls are not perfectly square, semi-frameless is often the smarter buy. Frameless wins when you want the absolute cleanest look and the bathroom is built to suit it.

Yes. A single frameless fixed panel or a walk-in return works well even in compact Adelaide bathrooms, and can make the space feel larger by keeping sight lines open.
